This, I have not felt for so long:

The pressure in my foot,

On my chest, and

I can’t stop looking.

My gaze, on a daily basis,

Runs wild, with no place of rest

Short of breath.


I feel the blood in my face,

It’s so lovely it hurts.

I feel so stupid,

Even though it’s only

Natural.


I was afraid of this,

For a while at least;

The fear is gone now.

As my pulse begins to race,

I open my arms to

Embrace.
